Tokyo itinerary for the best blend of city views, fresh eats, and chill urban energy

Here’s your go-to Tokyo itinerary for the best blend of city views, fresh eats, and chill urban energy 🌆🍣

Must-See Places:
1. Tokyo Skytree (1 Chome-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0045, Japan; ~¥1020): Epic city skyline views await! Opening hours vary, so check before you go: weekends 09:00-22:00, some weekdays start at 10:00. Pro tip—go early to beat crowds; sunset views are top-tier.
2. Tsukiji Outer Market (4 Chome + part of 6 Chome, Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045): Seafood paradise! Open Mon-Sat 08:00-14:00, Sun 10:00-14:00. If you love sushi and street snacks, arrive before 09:00 for the freshest bites and less waiting.
3. Sumida Aquarium (Skytree Town Soramachi 5-6F, 1-chōme-1−２ Oshiage, Sumida City, Tokyo; ~¥1210): Compact but super modern with unique jellyfish displays. Weekends 09:00-21:00; weekdays sometimes open at 10:00. My tip: buy tickets online to skip the queue!
4. Tsukiji Hongan-ji Temple (3 Chome-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-8435): An ornate Buddhist temple open daily 06:00-16:00, free entry. Stop by for peaceful reflection—even if you’re just snacking at Tsukiji!

Getting Around: The Tokyo Metro is ultra-efficient—grab a prepaid Suica card for easy rides. Most spots above are within easy reach on foot once you’re near Tsukiji or Skytree.

Eat & Drink: Tsukiji Outer Market is THE place for onigiri, fresh sushi, and tamagoyaki. Try chai at Tsukiji Hongan-ji’s temple cafe for a zen break.

Travel Tips: Carry cash (lots of vendors are cash-only). Check attraction websites/Trip.com for latest opening times and ticket prices.
